De Blasio's presidential campaign raises a paltry $1.1M

[TexasTowelie]

Mayor de Blasio’s presidential campaign against the rich is being funded by chump change, according to new campaign numbers.

The mayor’s quixotic bid for the White House raised nearly $1.1 million through the end of June, his campaign announced Monday. That’s far less than South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who raised a whopping $24.8 million between April and June, despite running a city with a population of only 102,000.

Presidential candidates had until Monday to file fundraising totals for this year’s second quarter with the Federal Election Commission.

De Blasio, who has called for tax hikes for wealthy Americans, finished last month with about $728,000 cash on hand, the campaign said. Of the $1.1 million raised from roughly 6,700 donors, 92% came from contributions of $50 or less.
